MLB & ESPN parting ways after 35 years (1990-2025); UPDATE: NBC makes an offer to MLB

Crazy

MLB looking into broadcast TV and/or streaming.

NBC/Peacock?

Amazon Prime?

Or MLB on FOX gets even more games???

Never felt the same after getting rid of John Miller and Joe Morgan

MLB should be on regional tv, its a international sport now, not a national one for tv atleast.

They’ve only had Sunday night games and some spot games here and there during the season for awhile now. And of course the Wild Card stuff.

Baseball Tonight used to be such a good show too.

Turner and Fox will get more games

Manfred don’t want more cable

Unless he’s good with more games streaming on MAX!

" Cable is a shrinking platform" I'm sure FS1 and TBS will be happy to hear that

I see little reason for MLB to be connected to a Network that only speaks about LeBron, Durant and the Dallas Cowboys regardless of whether they're in season or not.

If they see streaming as the future, so be it.

But since they're so hell bent on broadcasting online, I would just ask that they find some way to update the Live GameCast in the box scores of their apps so that I'm not watching "Nobody on, nobody out, Ball 2" for 3.5 minutes, and then the next update is "Game Over"

 

[K-Apps]

Amazon would be my guess. Maybe Comcast, but NBA is gonna take priority in April and May.

End of an era





ESPN cut back their MLB coverage a lot compared to the 2000s, there used to be Monday and Wednesday MLB games on ESPN back then along with a daily show solely for MLB coverage (Baseball Tonight). Eventually they cut back all of their MLB coverage to the point where only Sunday Night Baseball was left
